Inside the Rise of MacKenzie Gore and the Mysterious Potential of Gunnar Hoglund: What You Need to Know Now
JP Sears – Athletics (New Arm Angle, New Pitch Mix)
I’ve been talking a lot about arm angles so far this season since the guys mentioned it on the “Rates and Barrels” podcast, and Alex Chamberlain’s Pitch Leaderboard update now allows us to see exactly who has shifted their arm angles the most. It’s been fun to dig in. One of the pitchers who has made a significant change is JP Sears, who has raised his arm angle over four degrees and cut horizontal movement from his arsenal while adding to his vertical attack angle. Perhaps that’s part of the reason he has a 2.93 ERA and 32 strikeouts in his first 40 innings this season.
